First Semester Summary

First Semester (in a Nut Shell)

I realize I've been a bit MIA, so I thought I'd post a smattering of pictures from the semester before I head up to Seattle for Christmas and then to Argentina! :)

NAPA

The year started off with the Annual Women in Leadership trip to Napa. Good wine, great friends and sunshine resulted in a fabulous time had by all.

A Picture of some of the fabulous ladies at Haas.

CAL Football

View from the student section. Gotta love college football, especially in front of a packed house.

The Haas experience would not be complete with a little Cal football and more importantly tailgating...good times had by all...If only Cal could put together a consistent season life would be great! :)

Birthdays!

The Annual Ken Wallace Birthday Beer Mile!

Pumpkin Carving for Christy's Birthday

Kayela and Paul fight over the Halloween candy as James is hard at work.

Redwoods-Wine Club Bike Trip in Sonoma

Warren Buffet and Omaha, Nebraska

I never thought I'd find myself in Omaha, but low and behold I stumbled upon the opportunity to meet Warren Buffet. A mere 24 hours in the state of Nebraska was enough for me, but the visit was well worth the round about trek. I have to admit I was most surprised about how humble and down to earth Buffet was...I would be a bit overwhelmed with hundreds of students coming to see me.

Napa Triathlon

Some of you may know that I'd been thinking of testing the triathlon waters for quite some time. I just needed to acquire a bike and teach myself how to swim again...Well thanks to the Haas Triathlon club I finally took the plunge and bought a bike and completed my first race.

All and all the race went well. I think I may be sold. I have the bike, now all I need is a wetsuit and I will be ready to go. Check out some picts from the race below.
